Do you want to gain insight and clarity around a problem you are encountering? Art Therapy offers a simple way to see your situation from a different perspective, and you don't need to be an artist to do it.
People with emotional problems can be helped to express their deepest thoughts and feeling visually through art therapy. Instead of being given drugs to suppress their symptoms, patients are encouraged to communicate their feelings to others by way of drawing and painting. Often fears and needs are expressed that are so deeply buried that the person is not normally even aware of them.
